2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

It required me to do hours in a real classroom setting and reflect upon what I learned.

Gave me experience in a classroom.

I LEARNED WAYS TO INCORPORATE SOCIAL STUDIES IN TO OTHER CONTENT AREAS

I had the opportunity to be in a 5th grade classroom and work with the students. I learned a lot about teaching and different strategies.

I guess I learned some useful theories and concepts to use in the classroom, but the field experience itself was by far more useful than this online class.

this course has equipped me with the methods to teach effective social studies in the classroom setting.

This course is the field experience. Dr. Mathis was very helpful. She went over my lesson plans with me and she gave me lots of helpful feedback. She was also very prompt with emails and she did a lot of frequent 'housekeeping,' meaning she would ask if anyone had any questions about practicum at the beginning of almost every class.

the in the classroom experience

this class helped me because it taught me the goals of social studies teaching and learning.

OPEN REFLECTIONS INSTEAD OF STRUCTURED REFLECTIONS

I think that there is nothing to be added to the course. There was enough work with the weekly reflections and being in the classroom.

I THOUGHT THE COURSE WAS GOOD. MUCH BETTER SEMESTER THIS TIME. LAST SEMESTER WAS HORRID.

Nothing..she is a great teacher!

n/a

professionalism from the professor

She can be more clear in her expectations and keep it the same throughout the semester. Also she should have the same expectations for all students.

20. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

Very helpful!

GREAT. LIKE THE ENTHUSIASM AND PASSION SHE HAS FOR TEACHING. GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR FUTURE TEACHERS.

An awesome teacher that knows her material well. She knows how to relate what is in the textbooks and apply them in the classroom.

Professor Mathis is a very good teacher. She has the techniques to teach social studies methods effectively. However, i feel that she needs to work on her professionalism. I don't agree with being criticized so harshly in front of other students when Professor Mathis can just address it between group personally.

can be sarcastic and unprofessional when trying to receive help from her.

She knows her content, but I feel she doesn't really have a connection to the actual classroom anymore so this makes it hard for us to do what she is asking because it is not something reasonable to the elementary classroom.

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?

Yes

This course taught me to build on reflecting teaching and learning within the classroom.

it allowed me to experience things first hand and hands on.

This course was very important. I learned a lot from the experience.

This course has helped me to do better within the field. Doing a field experience has definately
helped me to gain experience for when I have my own classroom.

This course enhanced both my personal and professional development. It gave me the experience to work with students in the upper elementary grade level as well as gain valueable insight from my mentor.

This course has provided me with the skills and tools that will help me to effectively teach a classroom of my own in the future. Being physically present in the classroom has taught me about how to apply the methods and strategies that i have learned.

It helped me gain first hand experience being in a classroom, working with students, and seeing things from a teacher's perspective.
